Ghost_Bullet's Bucket

[Bert]

I've got a few old guenine reeds, PM me your details and send a couple down. they are the old metal ones. I've always run fibreglass ones in my TF (one big solid one); also experimented with having a cut-a-way double with the guenine metal reed sitting on top of the solid fibreglass one. but can't actually say if it made any difference.
another place it try is:

they might have a scooter reed of similer shape/size ???

You wouldnt want to run an original set of reeds anyhow they horrible!

Original steel reeds work quite well and I reckon make them less peaky but if they break it's not pretty

I like your bike just the way it is - it don't need to be any faster

I'll second that!
I have some carbon fibre reeds for a CR125 somewhere, don't know if they will be any good? Will bring them out on Sunday if you want.

These are the stuff'd reeds dimensions. just out of interest anyways. You know ya do a search online, and all ya get realy is the suzuki spec sheet. it is almost like the bike does not exist () yup it sure out in the cold.

Though it is kinda fun again to have somthing to do since the RD's been sorted last year.

Get stock steel reeds. Unless it's revving more or you are going to play with the free length and resonant frequency they will probably work just fine. OR . . call Pete at Total Motorcycles and get a piece of fibreglass and make your own big single petal and cut the bridge out

[Ghost_Bullet]

Good news is, the bike is back together, and appears to run fine. Bit hard to see outside in the country's dark night, no head light and moist grass.

Thankyou all for the help advice etc.

Cheers

The bucket went and did its thing today, it seemed to be back to it's normal self, finishing around midfeild, so that is good. Now looking forward to Greymouth.

u were going well on ur rd400.

[Ghost_Bullet]

Cheers man, the 400 is my bike of much fun. Seems though I might be riding it more like I am cruising on me way to a rally or something (to upright)

Practice was cool.
First race, had the fuel tap wrong way round, into the sweeper it was spitting and spluttering, I had to make myself wait till the straight to sort that, and lost a couple of places...
Second race was awesome... 2nd place was getting well away, maybe a backed off a little, but next thing Yow ling was up me arse and past... but in all was fun fun fun.

The last all in race however sucked in the final laps... at the end of the straight, the bike was starving and spluttering again, and would not settle again untill after the harir pin. Not sure if either my fuel mix (to much oil?) was screwed, or just not enough fuel getting through... what with the weather and getting around alot quicker than last weekend in the wet.

Anyways both bikes washed, and ready to be checked over and prepped for Grey. All gas will now go into the chainsaw, and all new fresh gas for the Coast.

Yeeeeee haaaaaaa
